Thanksgiving in the USA is always followed by “Black Friday” sales – and online retailer Amazon has attempted to bring this concept to the UK and Ireland with a week of special deals and offers.

However, even as this period passes, those who haven’t started their Christmas shopping just yet can still get in on the money saving act.

Amazon deals and offers

Visitors of voucher code website 5hop5.ie can currently enjoy a host of limited time offers on various products from Amazon.co.uk. There are savings available on everything from toys, to games consoles and music – perfect to help you fill up those stockings without breaking the bank.

Here are some of the hottest deals currently available in the Amazon.co.uk voucher code section:

• Up to 50 per cent off selected WOW toys (pre-school vehicles) – offer ends November 29, 2011.
   
• Buy an Xbox console and get a game for £15 and a wireless entertainment pack for £35 – offer ends December 29, 2011.
   
• 100 R&B and hip-hop albums from £3.99 – offer ends December 19, 2011.

Among the other offers available are cashback deals on Kata backpacks; two games for £20 when you buy the Wii console; and a selected game for £20 when you buy the PS3 console.

Get your gifts on time

There is plenty of time to order goodies online ahead of Christmas – typically even super saver deliveries can be completed in time for orders up to December 19/20 (Amazon has yet to announce the official deadline this year).

Currently 5hop5.ie has a special offer with free super saver delivery once you spend €25 at Amazon.
